one of Hugh (iirvin's children, a
little boy a year and a half old,was play
in; about tete house, he fell into a tub .,f
broiling water, and was rather badly
waked. We are lead to learn that the
child is turpruting a. fast as can be ex•
petted.
it is our sae duty to record the death
of Mrs. Kirk. wife of R...Irrrt Kirk, whott
we rep..rted last week as likely to recover
from a severe attack of inflammation of
the lungs. Pn vidence, however, order-
ed otherwise. She peacefully passed
away to her etortal rest ou Thursday,
2nd inst., at 11 °clock p,m., and her
remains were interred in the Dungannon
cemetery on the following Sabbath. The
large c ,coourse ,.f (nears and acquain-
tances which usembled to pay her their
last tnnute..f respect attested the high
esteem in which deceased was held. The
